This time there is a real awkwardness and blandness to it with no flow or personality, the worst of it makes one cringe. Script-wise, there is just nothing to it. The music is far too loud and has no creepiness or any kind of atmosphere whatsoever, you just want it to shut up. There is a degree of faithfulness to some of the shots that stops it from being rated zero or in the minuses, but they are not particularly stylish or inspired at the same time this time round.
The original 'Cabin Fever' may not the most mind-blowing of classics and had its foibles, but it was at least watchable and had a likeability about it, that is not the case with this. This is soulless cash grab level film-making level, personally do not like films without soul and made for money and nothing else. As well as being badly done in every way, and not in a marginally bad way but quite catastrophobic, it commits what condemns too many remakes in being completely unnecessary and having no spark at all. 'Cabin Fever' is among the worst of them. Although there are a fair share of bad ones, like 'Psycho' and 'The Wicker Man' (both of which made the criminal mistakes of being completely pointless) there are some great ones too such as 'The Fly' (which to me was an improvement over the still good original film and a great film in its own right as well, actually forgot that it was a remake which is testament to how good it was). Have absolutely nothing against remakes, or at least that is the aim.
Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 1 / 10 Feverish disaster Not recommended, even if you have absolutely nothing else to watch. If you didn't believe Eli Roth was a hack before, you certainly will after watching this mess. It's just basic in almost every way, and really is a waste of resources.
CABIN FEVER 2016 MOVIE
The movie was limited in its vision, and toning down the gore does a disservice to everything that was good about the original film. Honesty, I have seen found-footage films with better acting than what some of these no-talents pulled off. Worst part of it all? Save for a few of the actors, the performances were atrocious. This movie doesn't even try to be original in its retelling of the film, as the same basic set-up (and even some of the dialogue) has been reused and recycled to ill-effect. But everything from the acting to the gore has taken a considerable hit with this remake as to effectively make it Cabin Fever-lite. Had it been Evil Dead-remake caliber, we would have been in for something special. It does nothing new, different or even remotely better than the admittedly average original.
